Listing a veNFT

List your veNFT on veX in minutes. Your position stays in your wallet the entire time. You keep voting, earning fees, and collecting bribes until it sells.

Step-by-Step​

1. Connect Your Wallet​

  1. Visit ve.exchange
  2. Click Connect Wallet and select your provider (MetaMask, Rabby, WalletConnect, etc.)
  3. Ensure you're on the correct network for your veNFT:
    • Base: veAERO, veHYDX
    • BNB Chain: veTHE, veABOND
    • Linea: veLYNX
    • HyperEVM: veKITTEN, veHYBRA, veNEST
    • Ethereum: veNOVA
    • Robinhood Chain: veUP

2. Select Your veNFT​

Click List NFT in the navigation, or go to your dashboard and click List next to a position. You'll see all eligible veNFTs in your wallet with their lock amount, lock period, voting power, and unclaimed rebases.

3. Set Your Price​

Two pricing options:

Fixed Dollar Amount: Enter the USD amount you want. Price stays fixed regardless of token price changes.

Discount Percentage (recommended): set a discount relative to locked value. If the token price moves, your listing price adjusts automatically.

Before pricing, check the market: browse current listings for your protocol, and use the analytics page for live average and best discounts per protocol. Longer locks and permanent locks trade at deeper discounts than short ones.

4. Choose Payment Token​

Select which token you want to receive. The options depend on your chain: typically a stablecoin, the chain's native or wrapped token, and the protocol's own token.

Where Zap is available, buyers can pay with other tokens; your choice only determines what you receive.

5. Approve & List​

  1. Approve the veX contract (first time only; this does NOT move your veNFT)
  2. Review your listing details: price, payment token, and the platform fee (0.5–2.5%, set per protocol)
  3. Click List for Sale and confirm the transaction

Your veNFT is now live on the marketplace.

If the position has an active vote​

veX checks the position's vote state when the listing form opens and again before the approve prompt. What happens next depends on the protocol.

On Thena, Hybra and Supernova a voted position cannot be transferred, so it cannot be listed. The form tells you to reset the vote first and offers a Reset vote button. Thena accepts the reset at any time; Hybra and Supernova only accept it in a later epoch than the vote. On Thena, resetting in the same week as the vote forfeits that week's bribes.

On Nest and Alandale the sale itself resets the vote, and with it that week's bribes. The form warns you before you list. Transfers on these two protocols also pause for the hour either side of the weekly epoch flip, so a buyer cannot complete a purchase between Wednesday 23:00 and Thursday 01:00 UTC.

On Aerodrome, Topaz and UP33 the position sells with its vote active. The buyer inherits the vote and cannot withdraw or merge until they reset it. You can reset it yourself before listing to hand over a clean position.

If you vote after listing, a Thena, Hybra or Supernova listing becomes unbuyable until you reset again. The listing stays live and works again as soon as the reset confirms. The full table is on the Active Votes page.

While Listed​

You keep:

  • Voting rights (vote every epoch as normal)
  • Trading fees, bribes, and rebases
  • Full control: delist anytime

You can't:

  • Merge with another position (always delist first)
  • Transfer or split while listed

Managing Your Listing​

Change price: Delist → relist at the new amount. Both transactions are gas-only, no fees.

Delist: Go to your dashboard, click Delist, confirm. No penalties.

Pricing Tips​

  • Check the floor: Browse current listings for your protocol before pricing
  • Factor in rebases: Unclaimed rebases add value; price accordingly
  • Start slightly higher: You can always drop. List at 25% discount, wait a few days, adjust to 28% if needed.
  • Market timing: More listings appear around epoch flips. High-bribe weeks let you charge a premium.
Delist Before Merging

If you merge a listed veNFT with another position, the listing stays active at the original price but now includes the combined amount. You could accidentally sell far more than intended at a steep discount.

Always: Delist → Merge → Relist at the correct price.
